5 stars Names of original bands
I did a little homework and found out who originally did what song on Through the Looking Glass (a truly astounding CD). Siouxsie didn't exactly choose from Top 40 selections, so a bit of sleuthing was in order.

1. Sparks

2. Kraftwerk

3. Jungle Book soundtrack

4. The Band (the original is unbearable, in my opinion)

5. Billie Holiday

6. Doors

7. Iggy Pop

8. John Cale

9. Roxy Music (when Brian Eno was still with them)

10. Television
Written by Maureen Kelly
3 stars The covers album.
Overall I'd say this is a pretty good album of covers, but I don't think it's essential. I admit "Trust In Me" is interesting to hear, and "This Wheels On Fire" everyone knows. My two favorites are "You're Lost Little Girl", and "Little Johnny Jewel", that's a good song. Some of these tracks are on the "Twice Upon A Time" collection, as well as the "Dear Prudence" cover. Newcomers should get that first.
